Ping G30 Driver Reviews: A Closer Look at the Tour 65 Shaft

As a golfer, finding the right driver can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to selecting the perfect shaft. In this review, we'll take a closer look at the Ping G30 driver and its Tour 65 shaft, which offers a unique combination of feel, weight, and performance.

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Ping G30 LS Tec driver, equipped with the Tour 65 stiff shaft. Coming from the regular G30 driver with the Tour 80 stiff shaft, I was curious to see how the Tour 65 would perform. After all, the Tour 65 is designed to offer a slightly lighter weight and more feel than its predecessor.

In my experience, the Tour 65 shaft delivered just that. With a hair less weight than the Tour 80, it provided a better overall combination for my swing. I found that it added a few yards to my carry distance and even more to my roll out, all without sacrificing forgiveness. The spin was low, but not quite as low as I would have liked, which is where the LS Tec (Low Spin) designation comes in.

One of the key features of the G30 driver is its face design, which includes turbulators that help to generate high clubhead speeds. This design allows for more consistent ball striking and better overall performance. In fact, the G30 was dubbed the 'Forgivenator' back in 2014 due to its ability to forgive even the most wayward shots.

As a golf coach with a background in teaching high school golf, I've had the opportunity to try out various drivers over the years. While I'm not a high handicap golfer anymore, I still appreciate the benefits of an easier-to-hit driver. And that's exactly what the Ping G30 LS Tec delivers.

Since increasing my practice time and adding more volume to my schedule, my game has certainly improved over the last 15 months. But even with my improved swing, I still appreciate the forgiveness and ease of use provided by drivers like the G30.

Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with the Ping G30 driver and its Tour 65 shaft. If you're in the market for a new driver that offers a unique combination of feel, weight, and performance, I highly recommend giving the G30 LS Tec a try.
